Very cool. The first one that really seems to get a feel of the whole storyline (I've had to do doubletime to learn anything about the Guardians and Star Lord, but I really enjoyed the hint of the version of Star Lord's origin we're going with). It's also the first time I heard Groot speak, so that was cool.

It is clear that some of the trailer catch phrases are clearly made for the trailer, though. I'm not sure which version of "a thief, a murderer, two thugs, and a maniac" will appear in the movie, but I'm doubtful that both would (the line previously was "these criminals").

You know the more I see of this, the more I feel like this is essentially Farscape the movie. The humour, the irreverent tone, the pop culture references, the ship of misfits and the lone human as the fish-out-of-water...I mean if you turn your head and squint Quill kinda-sorta looks like Crichton...

As for the trailer: personally though, I prefer the other trailers. The late 60's/early 70's pop music gave it some character. This just feels like every overwrought, dramatic, summer tent-pole trailer you've ever seen. I mean the only thing it was missing was Lux Aeterna. Blech!

Oh and the smug egotist in me is pleased that I called it correctly that he'd left Earth as a child. Yeah, because that was such an insightful leap of logic!

Incidentally, does anyone think there may be a link between Quill and Skye? Maybe the same ship that (for whatever reason) picked him up also dropped of her "parents"? Maybe they switched him for her for some bizarre reason? Or maybe the "guest" was killed in whatever incident ended with Quill being taken? Could be a coincidence, but it seems like the timing seems just about right for there to be some kind of connection.

That's just were SHIELD found Skye. Doesn't mean her parents (assuming they're aliens of course) were dropped off in China. Plus not like they'd have to walk to make their way half way around the globe. Just using human transportation that could easily do that in under 24 hours.

Or, if they were hunting baby Skye, maybe whoever took her fled half way around the globe before finally being cornered?
